William Shakespeare was a white English man. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England.

Contrary to many beliefs, There is no documented evidence that William Shakespeare was black, however there is also no evidence that William Shakespeare was white either, we use what we know for that period of time to depict the colour or race of he man in question. There have also been rumours and speculation that William was of homosexual breeding, yet again we use the evidence of that period to say that this information is in fact untrue, at this was a time in Britain where a man could be hanged for acts of sodomy. This doesn't say that he wasn't bisexual however.
